Sidegate House Appeal

The Forum has sent in a response against the Sidegate House appeal proposals. We support the reasons given by Durham County Council in their refusal letter, and make additional points in this document:

These points cover:

Whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt

Whether the proposal would harm the openness of the Green Belt

Whether there are any very special circumstances if the development is considered to be inappropriate in Green Belt terms

Whether here are any other material considerations

Whether the proposal is contrary to Part 9 of the NPPF and to Local Plan Policy E1
